An illegal immigrant from Guatemala is in the Clare County Jail with an immigration hold after fleeing from police while driving intoxicated on M-115 at 130 mph, police allege.

Elmer Rafael Vicente Vicente, 43, is in the Clare County Jail on a $70,000 bond facing 10 criminal charges following a drunken high-speed chase in Freeman Township near Lake Station on Sunday, The Morning Sun reports.

Multiple callers on Feb. 23 reported a blue GMC Terrain driving erratically on M-115 around 5:24 p.m., and a sheriff’s deputy found the vehicle stopped on the shoulder of the road. When the road sergeant attempted to check on the vehicle, it sped away, according to WJRT.

The sergeant followed and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The Terrain initially stopped and waited for the deputy to exit his vehicle, then sped away again.

The sergeant returned to his vehicle and pursued the Terrain, which reached speeds of up to 130 mph. The vehicle eventually turned eastbound on US-10, then north on US-127, where a Clare County deputy deployed spike strips to blow out the vehicle’s tires, WWTV reports.

The Terrain came to a stop near the Mannsiding Road overpass, where authorities allege Vicente fled briefly on foot before he was taken into custody. Following his arrest, police allege Vicente kicked and smashed his head against a partition in the patrol vehicle, causing damage.

Vicente was arraigned before Magistrate Steven Worepell in Harrison’s 80th District Court on one count of fourth-degree fleeing and eluding; one count of malicious destruction of property; six counts of resisting and obstructing; one count of drunken driving; and one count of driving without a license, according to court records cited by The Sun.

Clare County Lt. Aaron Miller told the newspaper that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a hold on Vicente because he’s was living in Mt. Pleasant illegally.

Vicente is among scores of illegal immigrant criminal wreaking havoc in Michigan, with his arrest marking at least the third in just the last week.

Angel Eduardo Mavarez-Romero, a 26-year-old Venezuelan, was arraigned Tuesday on felony safe breaking and fleeing and eluding charges over an ATM break-in at Lake Trust Credit Union on West Shore Drive over the weekend, WOOD reports.

Much like Vicente, Mavarez-Romero allegedly led police on a high speed chase that ended with a crash into the median on U.S. 31, followed by a foot chase. A K-9 unit eventually located Mavarez-Romero hiding under industrial equipment in Olive Township.

The day before Mavarez-Romero’s arrest, previously deported illegal immigrant from Mexico Gilberto Hernandez-Mendez murdered his girlfriend’s mother and injured two others in a shooting spree at an Alpine Township home, police allege.

There’s plenty of others.

Earlier this month, 32-year-old illegal immigrant Joel Quintana-Dominguez was ordered to stand trial over allegations he repeatedly sexually assaulted children, including his own daughter.

In May 2023 illegal immigrant Luis Bernal-Sosa gunned down the mother of his young child, 22-year-old Leah Gomez, while she was sitting in her car with the child in the back seat. Bernal-Sosa, a Mexican national, was sentenced to life in prison with no option for parole in April 2024.

A month later, previously deported illegal immigrant Brandon Ortiz-Vite murdered Grand Rapids’ Ruby Garcia with an illegally purchased handgun before dumping the woman’s body alongside U.S. 131 and fleeing in her car. Ortiz-Vite, a Mexican national deported by Trump in 2020, was sentenced in November to 39 years in prison.

In June, Shelby Township police allege 33-year-old illegal immigrant Jose Medina-Hernandez was driving a box truck on M-59 that “rear ended a Buick Verano which triggered a chain reaction involving two other vehicles.”

Nancy Richmond, 88, and her daughter Crystal Brunn, 63, were in the Buick and killed in the crash that victims said left two cars “cut in half,” the Macomb Daily reports.

In July, previously deported illegal immigrant Severiano Marcos Maximo, 42, was deported again after pleading guilty to three felony charges for attempted criminal sexual conduct involving underage children.

The Mexican national, who was busted by a child predator task force in 2023, had crossed illegally into the U.S. on at least two separate occasions.

Data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement released in September showed more than 662,000 illegal immigrants on the agency’s docket who have criminal convictions or charges pending.

Those criminals, the vast majority free to roam the U.S., include 13,099 convicted murderers, 15,811 convicted of sexual assaults, 162,231 convicted of assault, 56,533 with dangerous drug convictions, 5,797 convicted of fraud, 18,234 convicted of larceny, 14,301 convicted of burglary, 13,423 with weapons convictions 10,031 convicted of robbery, 9,461 with non-assaultive sexual convictions, 2,521 kidnappers, and 217 convicted of extortion.
